Peregrine falcon living atop UdeM tower lays 2 eggs
Posted April 19, 2023 2:11 pm.
The peregrine falcon that lives in a nest box on the roof of the Université de Montréal is soon to be the proud mother of two baby chicks.
The mother falcon named Eve laid two eggs this week – the first on Sunday and the second on Tuesday. It takes about 30 days for a falcon egg to hatch.
Those special moments for bird lovers were caught on the rooftop camera livestream, which captures the falcons’ movements.
Two peregrine falcon adults currently live in the nest box: Eve and Miro.
The nest box, which is on the southeast side of the tower facing the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery, was previously habited by a pair of falcons named Spirit and Roger.
The university has set up a website dedicated to the falcons and the livestream.
